Indoor Tropical Island

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the blissful-land dept.

fons writes "The huge construction dome of the now bankrupt zeppelin maker CargoLifter, has been turned into an indoor tropical island. For about 20euro a day you can swim in the sea, take a walk in the rainforest or go to a beachparty. While it is snowing outside, it's a always a pleasant 25C on the island. And there are no tsunami's. It's bigger than Biosphere2 (it fits the Eiffeltower) but there's less sunlight. Would you spend your vacation in there? The Germans don't seem to be very eager."

    25 Degrees is too cold!!! Now if it was 77 Degrees, then we could talk turkey.

    Everybody knows that a real German's idea of a vacation is invading Poland.

    Thats an absolutely brilliant idea but with just one slight change.. we put the anti-nudists (in most of Europe thats pretty few) inside the tin can and black out all the windows, then let everyone else run wild...

    therefore this is definitely not within the male definition of tropical island.
